 Adam Mickiewicz and Polish Romantic Poetry.
Adam Mickiewicz, Poland's greatest poet since Jan Kochanowski (1530-84) and Mikolaj Sep Szarzynski (1550-81), was born near Nowogrodek in present-day Minsk province in 1798, and educated at Vilna university, from which he was exiled to Russia for political activism.
Until the final partition of the country in 1795, Polish literature went through the usual European phases: the generally devotional poetry of the middle ages, the splendours of the late renaissance, the richness of baroque and then the clarity and enlightenment of classicism.
Mikolaj Sep Szarzynski's tortured religious poetry is the equal of that of Donne or George Herbert, as Mickiewicz's is of the English Romantic's.
